My Neighbor Is the Hokage’s Siheyuan

Do you think life in the courtyard is all family squabbles and chaos?

Until Sha Zhu punches a hole through the wall where a car thief is hiding;

until Qin Huairu brings a dying child back from the brink with her bare hands;

until Xu Damao's eyes turn scarlet in the moonlight...

He Yuzhu always thought he was just an ordinary cook in the courtyard, with a slightly harder fist and a slightly fouler mouth than most. But he gradually realizes that something is off about all his neighbors.

His sworn enemy, Xu Damao, looks at him like a fool who's stolen the bell;

the widowed Qin Huairu sometimes shows strength enough to kill an ox with one punch;

and even the respected First Master often stares at the memorial stele late at night.

Then enemies claiming to belong to an organization called "Root" show up at his door and call them by unfamiliar names:

"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi..."

A long-buried memory of their lives as ninja comes roaring back.

When the flames of chakra ignite in the everyday world, will they repeat the mistakes of the past or forge a new future?

He Yuzhu hefts his wok ladle and boldly declares, facing the malice of the world:

"Listen, I don't care if I was a Hokage or a genin in my previous life. In this life, this courtyard is my 'Hidden Leaf Village,' and I'll protect it with my life!"
